Licensing Bureaucratic Reform: A Study on Licensing of Village Land Use in Bantul Regency

This study aims to analyze in depth the phenomenon of village land use in the Special Region of Yogyakarta related to the principles of land that apply in Indonesia, especially the village land use in Bantul Regency. The specificity of the administrative completeness and the process of issuing village land use permits are also studied in depth through the legal certainty theory and public service theory. This study uses a normative approach with data collection instruments from secondary legal sources, especially laws and regulations. The findings show that the privileges of using village land and the process of issuing village land use permits do not reflect the legal certainty theory developed by Hans Kelsen and public service theory developed by Zeithaml, Berry, and Parasuraman. However, policy changes such as setting minimum service standards, building a status tracking system, and implementing mapping and registration of village land can contribute to the procedure for village land use, in order to provide legal certainty for the community.
